Seoul Robotics (CEO Lee Han-bin) announced on the 19th that its AI-based autonomous driving solution developed with its own technology was selected as a '2025 Next Generation World-Class Product' hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA).
The World-Class Product Development Program is a system that certifies products and companies that are competitive in the global market. The Next-Generation World-Class Product designation is given to companies and products that have the potential to lead the global market within the next seven years.
The selected technology, "Level 5 Control Tower (LV5 CTRL TWR)," is an infrastructure-based AI solution that enables fully autonomous driving without driver intervention in confined environments such as factories. It fully automates the vehicle transport process, previously performed by skilled drivers, and utilizes AI deep learning to enable accurate object recognition and integrated control of multiple vehicles even in extreme environments such as heavy snow and rain.
Seoul Robotics commercialized the technology and operated it for five years, and entered the Japanese market through collaboration with the global automobile group Nissan.
In Korea, the Ulsan Complex City Development Corporation and the Ulsan KTX Ulsan Station area signed a business agreement to develop "New On City," an autonomous driving city, presenting an innovative model that integrates autonomous driving infrastructure from the urban design stage. New On City is a public-private joint urban development project funded by Ulsan Metropolitan City, Ulju County, Ulsan Urban Development Corporation, and Hanwha Solutions, and is a key project that embodies public interest and trust.
Kim Du-gon, director of Seoul Robotics, said, “We have been selected as a next-generation world-class product by leading global B2B autonomous driving and receiving recognition for our performance in the European and Japanese markets. We will do our best to ensure that AI-based autonomous driving technology becomes a world-class product representing Korea.”
